Whats modem like for you pulsar in uk? Xxkg6 is no good for me on orange
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] LuffyPSP:
Hmm you telling i'm the noob or those noobs? cuz i dont quite understand there.

if you are not, I didnt get the chance to help those noobs so that zeubug change his mind. i sleep and woke up seeing the thread is closed! :(

if yes, no!!! i 'm not one of those~~
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] netcitizen:
any thoughts on the XXKG7 that has come out ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
It's virtually the same ROM, just from a different region.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nikzDHD:
ZeuBug you open to continue themeing but only for your fans? We don't moan, sad to see you stopping themeing for VR its another reason why I love VR.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mrvirginia:
oh okay. will keep an eye open ;)

you could always continue to port it yourself...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mr.megi:
Any idea how to fix the talk crash ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] LuffyPSP:
but Zeubug himself could have something new in his later updates even if people keeps on porting the themes. just when i found someone who knows what minimal is like on sgs2, he left.

this is like the era of no themers when i first had my Desire. good themers are from Nexus One, Evo, Droid Inc. but no for Desire. I'm feeling that now in SGS2~~ themes are so many on Desire because of the CM7 t-mobile engine, which is my fav rom. kinda tired with AOSP so i'm sticking with stock which is VR!

now we only left with mr. megi. i hope he has some other themes in mind. his previous themes for mdpi devices are awesome. wish he ported them though. he chooses miui for his first in VR. but it still looks great. :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mrvirginia:
what?

if he continues to add stuff but doesn't directly support the SGS2, you could still port it. unless you're saying he's done making themes all together for any device. in that case, just make your own updates

edit: oh yah i see. he got tired of people asking idiotic questions.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] LuffyPSP:
he said he wont share his work anymore~~ if that is what i understood, meaning no more files from him~~ Photoshop isnt my specialty, even after doing some graphics learning/trial and error, i still end up asking my friends doing it for me.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dully79:
I'll have to disagree with you, esk is a quality theme, have a look at his clear sense theme for the desire.

If noobs and thieves don't piss him off we might get something just as spectacular as that.:)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] runedrune:
I was so happy when I found Zeubug's theme. I love the minimal look. I've been searching and waiting for a theme with that style since morning but can't find anything :( Mr. Megi's theme is nice but I spent months with MIUI on my SGS and I've grown a bit tired of it now.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] LuffyPSP:
esk is pretty new isnt it? its not there yet when i have my Desire last year. i mean not so new, he is just not there yet when i got mine. after some time passed then after that we can see pretty much themes on Desire.

well enough of this. i hope Zeubug is reading this haha~~~ :D

lets not turn this thread into theme talk.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] LuffyPSP:
yep same feeling as me. first time i'm interested in flashing themes into the stock SGS2 look when i found his theme. Minimal and clean look, without any clutters on his theme. Me too has been using MIUI a lot on Desire. but still mr. megi's theme is awesome. his work is really a detailed one. hope he come with more soon. and Zeubug come back if he settled himself. :p

btw guys who use gmail, how do you receive push notifications when you turn off the sync option? i turn it off and not receiving any email while in my desktop gmail has been spamming with PM and such.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mrvirginia:
you can't... sync enables push noti
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] psb07158:
Out of curiosity Pulser, how come you didn't get on that development bandwagon? You prefer to be a lone Ranger ? :D.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] emilcioran99:
Did you see Chuck Norris "working" with his band?

He is a lonely ranger like Pulser. :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jobias:
Yeah I know, but they said it was going to be released early 2012 so I figured it would be somewhere around february ;-)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nbk+:
VillainROM is dead...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mynamesteve:
the rom isnt dead but your brain cells certainly are.

Whats with the trolls recently :confused:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Lol another person who can't read
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Ever heard of leaks? :p
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] killall:
Aye, cook em wi tatties and you have lovely soup:D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Lulz :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Laura Palmer is dead.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] killall:
We know, but who killed her?....Leland Palmer or BOB??;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Chuck.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Bratag:
OMG - you lost your arms? Was it some kind of industrial accident?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mynamesteve:
Serious LOL

Chuck should have a Pulser banner in his sig THIS MAN MAKES FLAWLESS ROMS WITH NO ARMS!!!!111!

thats one seriously accurate headbutt you got there bro :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jobias:
Ofcourse I did, just didnt think of leaks occuring that soon. but I feel really stupid now lol so I'll just shut it xD
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
I like that idea :p

And yes, lol
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
BTW for those of you who dwell under rocks, there is a ten day sale on the Android Market, to celebrate 10 billion app downloads :)

10p/10c each for ten selected apps. The apps are varied, and often have been free apps of the day on amazon.

So if you fancy some discounted big-name apps, check it out.

SwiftKey X for 10p, I had it on amazon, but bought it for the faster updates via Google market...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mccune:
Added some fancy rotation animations to my Villain 3.0 thanks to imparator HERE.

Intratech made a CWM so it's pretty painless.

Combined with the ICS animations it's pretty slick looking (already posted a link in the VR thread to a modified framework).
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Noonski:
I'm going to close this thread due to armlessness.

So when are the ICS builds gonna leak that Samsung's working on for the SGS2?

If anyone's got it please contact ME, as I've been dry out of leaks for over 3 years now.(Damn that Footbal guy ruined the leaking game for everyone)

If your a Noob the above information will have made no sense at all.

PS: About Laura Palmer, anyone check out David Lynch his new and first CD? Damn that guy is kookoo.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] WiGgLr:
If it's 'armless then it isn't going to be hurting anyone if you leave it be.

Although I think that Chuck would have something to say about being called 'armless
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] shpongled:
This app is not compatible with your device

I'm seeing a lot of "This app is not compatible with your device". This is common apps like Soundhound and Chainfire3D.

Any ideas? My location is Sweden if that matters, but these apps are available to install om my N1.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] chamonix:
have you maybe changed your screen density?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] shpongled:
Argh! Is that why.. how lame. Any workaround without switching back to lowres?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Not that I know of... That's why I always recommend people use default screen dpi :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Chuck is only 'armless when he's sleeping... And Chuck Norris never sleeps :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AvRS:
Before people start coming on here requesting an update to KL1 thought I'd say it's been released as a dev ROM and is deodexed already. After reading 8 pages that is the only useful info in there wish I hadn't bothered lol
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] emilcioran99:
There is another useful info there.

That Samsung is using a different kernel packer this time. ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AvRS:
That was posted after I last read it on lunch :p I just went to last unread and that was the first post lol

I don't bother with stock firmware since I upgraded from the original O2 carrier stock ROM I had which was a long long time ago and never looked back.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Market time outs, browser timeout, GPS accuracy is off and I had a black screen with a hardlock for 1 minute just now which made up my mind.

Above is quote from Intratech regarding KL1 build. I therefore don't envisage a release based thereof.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] GadgetCheck:
Lol thanks for that pulse!

sigh thank God i don't need build packages all again for KL1
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] urmybaby:
so there will be no more update before 2.3.7 or 4.0.0? thanks
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AvRS:
I can't think of anything substantial being brought to the plate to improve on what we already have as 2.3.6 hasn't really given anything worthwhile, just a number bump which most devs upgrade to based on pleasing the masses so guess we can just wait to see what, if anything 2.3.7 brings. That's guessing they don't jump to 4.0 next which would be nice and then obviously Pulsar will serve some desert flavoured sandwich up ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
2.3.7 is only google wallet which really we do not use over here because i think you need NFC capable phones which we do not have thus making it another non goer for update. Please correct me if im wrong Pulser. So yeah best chance is ICS wenever that comes our way
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mynamesteve:
You are correct :)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_version_history#2.3.7
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] msaraiva:
Video on GTalk is substantial. I think we need at least one more release before 4.0

Anyway, thanks for your hard work, pulser.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AvRS:
Woops wasn't meant to say thanks, stupid phone. Oh well have 1 on me.

That isn't substantial as the app can be flashed quicker than a ROM can. So not worth the update for an app sorry to say.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] stokstaart:
Try an app called "old market" works like charm for me!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Entropy512:
That does not require a ROM release, just a gapps update.

Use "Talk 1.3 Installer" from Market - Gtalk with video works just fine on 2.3.4, 2.3.5

If I can ever figure out the wifi tethering permissions crap that might (along with an NFC permissions fix for I777 users who are Hellraising) justify a 3.0.1 - but IMO unless Samsung releases something really awesome in a base, it's better to do minor bugfixes/tweaks to a known solid base.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AvRS:
I think people forget these aren't new bases they're minor updates. Any minor changes by el goog are released in this way the same we get kxx updates when samsung fix the bugs they introduced. Numbers don't mean prizes ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
I fixed my tether by manually doing the permissions once. But no idea if they are getting reset or not...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ReiKo90:
Hello,

I'm using VillainROM 3.0 on my SGS II for two weeks now and there is one problem that can only be fixed with restoring or reflashing VillainROM 3.0. I'm not the only one with this problem.

Well, all of sudden my VR 3.0 starts to heating up (last time it did that it was heated up) and then it reboots and starts boot animation, goes to home scren for 3 seconds and then it boots again, like to doesen't want to go to PIN section so I can punch in my PIN.

It's really weird and yeah it means it's because of ROM. I would like to use VR but this problem is making me go to other ROM's.

I'm using Clear Glass Theme 1.6 with TSM parts and SiyahKernel v2.3 Kernel . Baseband = I9100XXKI3

I hope you can fix this problem,

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] BrandoHD:
I am 100% sure it is NOT the ROM and I am pretty sure its because of a variable that you, the user has introduced i.e a kernel or app or combination of two, so if you would like assistance, it is in your best interest to give a better description of the state of your device when the issue occurs, the apps you may be using or was using when the issue occurs and your kernel if it's not the 2.0.5 that is included in the ROM
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] killall:
Hundreds of people are using this ROM without your problem and have been for months. So I would think it is a problem with either your phone or the way you are installing the ROM. Please don't post asking a fix without researching first.

Sent from my mind to your mind.......my thoughts to your thoughts.......
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ReiKo90:
I did updated my post with further information about kernel, baseband and installed theme.

Well, OK it's phone which FIXES itself with restoring ROM ... and it's not ROM/or/some other software component but it's like hardware problem? It's not likely ...

I know a guy who uses SiyahKernel v2.3 Kernel and now he updated to 2.4 it seems I will do the same. I will keep you infoed.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Hmm... it's more like thousands. :p

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gwak:
Pulsar can you help please. I have just started getting noise distortion when I make a call. I can hear the other person but they get crackling from my end. I was playing around with task650s rom and recovered back to villian rom.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gwak:
Fixed it reflashed modem
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] soyef:
Did you flash the latest version of tsm parts, cos 2.0 was known to have issues

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Entropy512:
The /data/misc/wifi directory itself keeps getting clobbered to 750 wifi.wifi - but once softap.conf is created, the directory can get clobbered like this and not cause problems because softap.conf is already there

It would be nice to figure out why/what is clobbering the permissions to 750 wifi.wifi even after someone (or the initramfs) sets them to, say 770 wifi.system or 777 wifi.system. It isn't too hard to workaround - but the question is why the heck something is clobbering perms like that? It just shouldn't happen.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yup, exactly. We need to find the reason for it, but I have not seen anything that would change it...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] JFSG:
Are there any screenshots for this ROM? Tried looking around and couldn't find any..
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AvRS:
No as you don't need screenshots as it's the same as stock, this isn't a themed ROM you can find those in the other Android Development forum.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] JFSG:
Then that's good. Some other ROMs I've seen have ugly themes. :p

I'll install and see how good this is. :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Bl@ck:
i'm having a strange issue after installing and removing ADW Launcher EX, every now and then something kills TWLauncher and i see an annoying launcher refresh, like if i killed and restarted it manually, is there any way to fix this w/o having to reflash the rom? Since i'm not even sure if this will fix this issue since it could be related to something adw left behind.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AvRS:
Re-flashing the ROM should clear any remains left behind but you could just try pulling your TWLauncher from your ROM and pushing it via RootExplorer. Your TWL may have just been corrupted and hopefully pushing the apk back will fix it, if not as said a ROM flash should do the trick.

EDIT: Corrected post as I forgot which thread I'm posting in lol
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Bl@ck:
i'll reflash the rom, let's see what happens, even thou i'll probably factory reset it anyway next week since there's an official post from samfirmware that the first ICS beta rom will be published next weekend.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] frottage:
Let's hope - that would be a nice Xmas present
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Bl@ck:
The problem remains even after reflashing the rom, i'm trying to use the phone w/o widgetlocker, most times i saw it refresh was after unlocking.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] WiGgLr:
Sounds like it is widgetlocker, perhaps it's to do with the Advanced setting in WidgetLocker "HomeHelper Component".

The ? button for that option says:

"A potential downside to using the HomeHelper is that Android may no longer prioritise the launcher and may result in your Home screen widgets redrawing sometimes after launch"
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] TA123:
Got a strange problem (have already reported it before): when I connect the phone to my in-car blue tooth, it connects only to the phone audio, not media audio. I have to go to the options menu and untick and tick again media audio to make it connected. It works fine on CM7 so it should not be a problem of a particular bluetooth device.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Bl@ck:
Yes, it's widget locker, didn't see a single re-draw after disabling it.

Strange thing is that worked flawlessly before, this problem started after installing ADW EX, i'll try and reset widget locker and see if this problem lasts.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] WiGgLr:
just disable the homehelper component in the widget locker settings. I use ADW Launcher Ex and WdgetLocker and don't see the problem with settings this way. However, if I switch that setting on then I get redraws.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] chris2busy:
which cfroot can i use with VR 3.0?

i don't know which fw it is based on..
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Entropy512:
I do, because unlike you, I actually read the first post of the ROM thread!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mynamesteve:
double the humor when you read the sig :D

Why would they name something "common sense" when barely 1 out of 50 has it?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] chris2busy:
Oh..my bad..its on the #1 post

oh and btw thats lack of notice not boredom.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Lmao :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] craig.buckie:
I have the same. Did you turn off the HomeHelper Ondemand in the Root Helper? Because if I turn off the HomeHelper itself it just turns back on.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] fl1pp3r:
Well after 3 months using this and 3 weeks using version 3.0 I can rate this Rom with 5/10.

I will explain why:

1) GPS stop work from time to time. There is a real GPS bug inside this.

2) Battery colapses really fast. Solution: upgrade to a diferent modem, not included in Villain forums.

3) The benchmarks you can do, villain is always under CM7 and Hyperdroid.

Atm, i am have instaled hyperdroid, i got my gps back and all the phone is way smoother then before.

Lets wait to see what they will do with the new ICS 4.0.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Entropy512:
No GPS problems here, I use Google Maps Navigation all the time.

Battery has been great too, although I admit I manually debloated some stuff.

Benchmarks are worthless. I can gain 600 points in Quadrant with one tweak, for example - but that tweak trades off data integrity for performance.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] leogeeko:
Considering that the GPS is ruled by the modem and considering that you think the rom should change the modem, I would guess why you have GPS problems.

Why would anyone bother to care about modem, we have at least two excelent posts about modems on this foruns, even modem.bin files can be now flashed on the phone with the Chainfire Mobile Odin. Download the firmware from your choice (mine is brazilian VIVO which have the VIVO Operator Custom Modem) and flash it.

Benchmarks are nothing compared to the user experience. The ROM is fast, functional and rock stable. Uses with the right kernel and you will get a lot of smoothness.

This is really annoying when someone comes into a ROMs thead to speak stuff like "That one is better, this one sucks". I hate that. If you for any reason don´t like it, it´s your personal choice to not use it, but don´t come in here with your personal assumptions trying to dimish the Developers work.

The Devs own you nothing. Keep that in mind. :mad:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yeah, why should I put in a modem?

If I did, I'd put in what suits me best. But that might not be best for each person...

As I have said before, I do not hold respect for any "dev" who bundles radio and rom together... It is a step too far towards the consumerised "product" based model, which this is not part of.

It's a custom rom... I can make you an official style rom if you want. But it's tailored to one carrier :) If you have issues, use a suitable radio, and remove samsung junk. If I remove it, people will just whinge it's gone :p
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mynamesteve:
lol you said junk :D sorry! sorry! serious face :I

HI everybody

what is the best original ROM android for my Samsung S2(android 2.3.3 and I9100XXKF1

( including English and French and Arabic and Chinese keyboard and also all are fixing ( camera (red).....) ??
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mccune:
Stop spamming the threads and do your homework ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] vylent:
this is such a noob questions but when I downloaded my VillianRom 3.0 .rar file and even extracted it I don't see .tar or md5 extension so ODIN does not recognize it when i'm trying to upgrade :/
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] emilcioran99:
Update from what?

Did you read the second post?

VillainRom 3.0 is installing under CWM, not with Odin...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
VR isn't a rar either by the way. Are you sure you have the right thing?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] poofish:
Hmm, I've been using VillainROM 3.0 for a longgg time without any problems, but I just recently decided to install BLN. As I had Siyahkernel, liblights were already installed, but I wanted it to work with the stock SMS app as well. I checked villaintweaks, flashed the mod to allow BLN with stock SMS, and rebooted the phone.

After that, the phone never finished booting and was stuck on the bootlogo. This wasn't entirely problematic as I had made a Nandroid right before, but I was wondering if there was a method to making this work? Or if I did anything wrong?

I'm essentially running VillainROM 3.0, Siyahkernel 2.5.1, with Jkay 12.1 installed, and minor modifications made to the system, like an altered logsprovider.apk and mms.apk. Would any of these conflict with the tweak?

EDIT: I got the tweak to work. I guess the tweak didn't like me using the modified MMS with extra themes in it. Ah well, I guess I'll have to live without them.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AvRS:
The multi-theme mms.apk is from very early 2.3.3 builds and was removed in all 2.3.4 onwards and maybe even late 2.3.3 builds by Samsung. There's a reason I don't install tweaks released by "Joe public" as that guy clearly stripped it from an older ROM. If in doubt stock it out ;)
